This may, or may not, parallel or complement the experiences of your other dreamers. Since Nov., 2011, I been spontaneously going oobe during the sleep state. Last night, in an effort to participate more actively with this project, I utilized guided hypnosis techniques to improve lucidity as well as recall. The results were merely a C plus, because my sleep was poor and disturbed last night. I have no explanation for it. These miscellaneous notes from my journal:
Hypnagogic: intense vibrations cycling around 33 cps, from feet to neck, but not to head. Hub: heart chakra, rather than the usual solar plexus region. A shift, which feels almost physical, with a sense of an explosion, top of head. It is not a physical explosion, of course,but it feels that way. For novices, it can be rather disconcerting. For me, when it first began, it was downright frightening.
Dream Scene #1: viewing a man's thumb on a recession in an instrumental panel; perhaps, on a screw holding the laminate or metal together, or a button. Instrument panel (dashboard?) (close up view; I could not see anything but this point of view) was silver and contemporary if not futuristic.
Dream Scene #2: I saw the word TRADEWINDS. I have no idea whether it referred to the legendary bar in St. Augustine or physical tradewinds, and - if that - where?
Dream Scene #3: I "saw" the term: Per Mare. (by sea)

This dream happened a long time ago. I don't remember how long, because it's been so long. But, it sticks in my brain like it happened yesterday. I don't remember how the dream starts, and I don't recall any specific dates in the dream. I will try to recall all of the dream, despite the lack of dates.
Here we go:
I was living in a HOT Earth. There was severe heat that was plaguing the entire planet. The heat had become so intense, that people all over the planet were dying at a rapid rate. They were dying so rapidly, that a specific burial had become the norm. People were placed in black body bags, and loaded onto rafts, which were floated down major rivers and waterways, into the ocean. These rafts would hold about 5-10 body bags, each. Death was EVERYWHERE. I remember awakening on one of these rafts, but I was not in a body bag. I removed myself from the raft, somehow, and found myself in a slum-type portion of a city. I remember being with someone, I don't know who, and asking them how we were supposed to fix the over-heating Earth problem. The person I was with told me that we needed to speak to this old Chinese guy that lived deep in the slums, and he would hold the secret. I made my way to this Chinese elder. As I spoke with this elder, he told me that there was a man-made shield that had been constructed around the planet, to reflect solar energy that was causing global warming. However, this shield technology had backfired, and was causing the planet to actually heat up faster and more intensely than it had been without the shield. The only way to save the planet, and all of it's people, was to get Hulk Hogan's son to go into orbit, and physically bring down the shield. (why Hulk Hogan's son, I will never freaking know.) So, I left the elder's shop, and sought down the Hogan family. Once I found them, I convinced Hogan's son that he needed to board a space shuttle, enter the ISS, and do a spacewalk to dismantle the shield. Once he agreed to it, I saw him start his spacewalk. The shield around the planet was made of some super-light material, that kinda resembled an ultra-thin plastic, or like...bubbles. Hogan's son floated toward the shield, and simply popped it, just like a bubble. Once he penetrated it, the whole thing collapsed, thus saving the planet.

I am now trying to play catch-up with the blog, recording unusual dream experiences which I have recorded in my journal. From Friday night, a white sign held up (dream experience) with only one word (black letters): POGO.

8/25/14
I am above a compound of some sort and it is night. I am watching through night vision goggles. A helicopter comes in over compound and starts dropping what appear to be bombs. When they hit the ground or building they explode .It looks to me to be a military installation of some sort from the lay out. It is in a desert area nothing around, hidden between some huge sand formations. I woke feeling I was seeing some sort of assault on a unknown secretive operation .

I dreamed that a famous martial artist who was also a famous musician was using both of those skills to unveil some truth about our society and this allowing people to see more clearly who was pulling the strings. This way more people could act in a way that would help society.
There were also a group of Korean people that also did kung fu and were giving people a small amount of food that had fermented. It tasted good but there fermentation process produced LSD.

on 08/23/14. Dreamt of huge waves coming into a beach...after washing out and coming yet again filled with debris and bodies and still live people...waves so huge beyond belief...last wave I saw took a sharp right turn....

DREAMED 8/23/14 SATURDAY

DREAM #2 OMISSION (COWBOY DREAM)

I ASKED IN THE DREAM WHERE I WAS AND THEN I SAW A SILVER STAR WITH CIRCLES AT EACH POINT OF THE STAR (LIKE THE SHERIFF'S BADGE OF OLD) AND IN THE CENTER IT SAID "LONE STAR".

ALL THREE DREAMED ON 8/23/14 - SATURDAY
#1 I DREAMED THERE WAS A LONG STEMMED PLANT WITH DARK GREEN LONG POINTED LEAVES WITH BEAUTIFUL DARK (ROYAL) PURPLE FLOWERS ON TOP. I WENT TO TOUCH THE FLOWER AND IT FELL OUT OF THE POT. THERE WAS A BULB ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STEM OF THE PLANT. IT WAS SATURATED WITH WATER.
#2 THERE WERE TWO COWBOYS. BOTH WERE WEARING 10 GALLON HATS. ONE SAID TO THE OTHER THAT HE WAS GONNA TAKE HIS GUNS. THE OTHER COWBOY SAID, NO YOU'RE NOT. AS THE COWBOY WALKED AWAY, THE OTHER COWBOY DREW HIS GUN TO SHOOT THE COWBOY WHOSE BACK WAS FACING HIM. INSTEAD, I SHOT THE COWBOY WHOSE GUN WAS DRAWN.
#3 AS THIS DREAM, ALONG WITH THE ONES ABOVE, WAS SUBMITTED ALREADY BUT APPARENTLY NEVER RECEIVED, I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT INCLUDE THIS DREAM IN MY SUBMISSIONS. INITIALLY, I WAS HESITANT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE DREAM AND THE FACT THAT IT INVOLVED FAMILY MEMBERS AND I NOW FEEL IT IS "NOT IN THE CARDS" SO-TO-SPEAK AND HAVE DECIDED NOT TO INCLUDE IT. IT WAS AND IS VERY DISTURBING TO ME.

I actually had this dream a week or so ago...

In this dream, I was sleeping when I woke up to a clap of thunder. (I woke up in real life later to find that it was thundering... so that's probably where that came from.) The blinds on my window were moving just slightly and I caught a glimpse of something behind it. I thought it kinda looked like a newborn mouse. It was tiny and pink and still damp from birth. I woke up my husband before climbing out of bed and opening the blinds to find four of these little baby animals all clinging to one another. They were so tiny, all four could easily fit in my hands and when I collected them, I held them close to my chest to keep them warm while looking for their mother outside. There were no signs of any other animal, so I shrugged and told my husband that I would raise these babies and depending on what they grew into, I would either return them to the wild or keep them as part of our family. He seemed ok with that even though he isn't a huge fan of pets.

After feeding them, they had somehow magically grew to be around four or five inches tall. They looked like tiny, albino marmoset to me, but when I asked my husband what he thought they were, he told me they were baby sloths. I didn't see it. It didn't matter though, they were the cutest things I had EVER seen! I was in love with them. I had to get on tomy husbandfor letting my 3-year-old run around with them... My son was actually a big help, but I worried that the two younger boys might hurt them. Some time later, I heard the boys all squealing and laughing and went into their playroom to find that they had crammed all the little marmoset-like creatures into a hole in the wall. The little babies looked very frightened, but I managed to pull them out one by one and hold them tight. I was really angry at my husband now who had allowed everyone to play with them after I specifically asked him not to. Toddlers, though they mean well, could easily accidentally kill a small animal, especially a baby one. I was very upset that my husband did not listen to me or seem concerned for these babies I was trying to care for.

In another room, I had a large square table covered with a white table cloth. I had the creatures on the table, one on every side. I had just gotten through feeding them and they were now a couple of feet tall or more. As I looked at them, I noticed that only one was completely white. The rest had black marbled in their fur. The one I was facing at the time had black across it's eyes and when I looked at it, I wondered if maybe it was a panda bear? I wasn't sure what it was at this point and when I pointed it out to my husband, I looked down to see that its belly was turning brown and it was growing what looked to be a human belly button. I poked it with my finger and said "boop!" That was my way of playing with my little baby... It was acting silly, so I laughed... but when I looked down at it again... there was no animal, but a grown, naked, African-American man. In fact... all four of my babies were now grown black men!

I screamed and they screamed and we ALL scattered. My husband went to get the kids, and I ran into the kitchen for some reason with one of the men following me. It seemed like now I was bouncing back and forth between being in the body and watching on the side-lines The three other black men started raiding the home... even stealing things that I doubt very much that normal thieves would want, like photos and things that didn't seem very important... but that is not to say that everything they wanted to take was worthless... they were also taking electronics and jewelry. The one man who had followed me into the kitchen was very threatening. I opened a drawer and pulled out a small knife... and the man laughed and pulled out of the pants he was now wearing a much larger knife. I cried as I backed up against the counter... then called out to my husband to get the kids out of the house. There was really no way to get out of this situation... I would either have to hurt this man or be hurt by him... and I braced myself for the worst, because I just did not see a way out of this without being killed. The man was much stronger than me and had a much bigger knife...

The man who had me cornered had a sinister smile on his face. He was standing directly in front of a stove and turned on the gas. I knew instantly that he meant to blow the house up, or at least burn it to the ground. After a couple of minutes I could smell the gas, and the man pulled out one of those long lighters. It took three clicks for it to light. I could see a ball of fire form in an instant before I hit the ground. When I got up, the house was on fire and the only escape was through a window that had to be kicked in.

Luckily, I made it outside to see many people gathered round the burning house. A few of the neighbors had called for help and I met my husband and kids by the road next to the house. I was in a neighborhood that I had never seen before. In the sky, there were some jets that had been sent to handle the situation. There was a sort or thing they were going to shoot down to surround the house... and then it looked like they might bomb it. It was so weird. There were four planes, three escorting the one that meant to shoot the ring around our home. Each had a different flag on it. One had the American flag, one had a British flag, and another had the Canadian flag... I cant remember the other. Anyway, the barrier was shaped like a circle, but had four sides with a tiny missile weighing down each "side". I was very upset that they meant to further destroy my home, rather than send someone down to extinguish the fire! It seemed like the mini-missiles would embed into the ground and make a red ring of some kind of material around the house, then someone would fire a missile to destroy our home all-together. I was very upset and crying begging someone to stop what was happening, because it made no sense, no one should be allowed to do this to someone else's property! Someone patted my shoulder and explained to me that the property was no longer mine. It belonged to the government, especially since someone had called for them to help me, so now they could do with it whatever they wanted... to include bombing it. It got worse though... as I cried, some heavily armed police officers confronted me and gave me a ticket... for being robbed! I had to pay for some guys choosing to rob me and set my house on fire! I was so distraught and disgusted that instead of getting any sort of help from anyone... I was instead treated like a criminal. I had no idea what I would do now since the house was being blown up and I had no home or money.

One of my frequently visited dream places is my grandmother's house-located in a small east Texas town. Last night l focused on the Dallas meme. l was at my Grandmother's house when suddenly a lot of neighbors, many of my relatives( dead and living) appeared and told us to leave the area quickly. We piled into cars, and saw that right behind us was a huge wall of water bearing down on our fleeing vehicles.The streets rapidly flooded, and we were borne along the "river" until we reached a train station high on a mountain far,far away. We boarded the train while water covered the lower areas.The location of "safety" was a mountaintop. ln 1957 my grandmother and l survived a tornado in this same house- l don't know if that has a link to my dream, or to Texas or Dallas. l have a friend who is a well - known psychic....she told me that she had see"seen" a large-scale disaster in Dallas within thewprmn year. But my dreams continue to be about flooding and mountains(several times a week).Water is a recurring theme for me, and l live very far from an ocean, rivers, or dams...
